Personally i'd like to see them do Mac and Me.

Even has Carnival nights promise of a sequel that never came to be!

They'd totally need to have Paul Rudd as a guest for that.

My favorite shorts are probably The Truck Farmer and A Date With Your Family. I do mention "two pints of oysters and the new vegetable" a lot while grocery shopping--it's from the short about being a homemaker and the perils of letting the husband buy groceries.

There was also a mixup during one of the bumpers for a Friday night premiere. They thought the "Outlaw" that they were riffing was the 1943 movie and not the 1988 movie "starring" Jack Palance.

So the commercials were all these two idiots with some radio show talking about Jane Russell.

I really like Catalina Caper but it also was incredibly hard to get as a trade back in the day, I think the rights expired very shortly after the episode aired. And it contains the immortal line, "There's a promising young artist hopped up on goofballs" when Little Richard is moseying through "At The Party."

Went to see the Mads riffing tonight. They dealt with a ton of technical difficulties, but they were introduced by the actress who played Debbie in Manos, whi evidently lives near Portland. She told a couple of fun stories, I guess she has a book about the experience.

Jonah, Baron, and Hampton were in Portland for the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and one of the events was an airing of Cry Wilderness, followed by a little Q & A from the audience.

Cry Wilderness is just as insane when watching it with hundreds of people as it is at home, and I had forgotten about the incredible downer that is the closing theme song.

Fun things I learned during the Q & A:
Nobody knows what "the payload" is other than Joel, it is part of some multi-year payoff
One of Joel's original ideas for the reboot was having Jonah move to Pittsburgh and do the show live in front of audiences for a year
The monster rap from Reptilicus was one of the first things they filmed (and they can do most of it when asked)

I had never heard of Girl's Town and it's the most delightful thing. Horribly-written teen slang, awkward musical moments, and the easiest, funniest relationship among the riffers I can remember. It's into my top 10 of the original show for sure.

I also saw Avalanche. Rock Hudson really captures a certain middle-aged creepiness well, but I'm not sure it's what the director was going for.

Girls Town is a great experiment! I love a movie where they have Mel Torme playing the heavy. "Careful, it's where my Velvet Fog emanates from!"

Plus that poor girl who has a crush on Paul Anka. "We're married now, right?"

Saw the showing of "Eegah!" here in PDX tonight. They must be just raking in the dough on merchandise on this tour.

I'd completely blocked out how creepy parts of the film were. "Here, daughter of mine. Pretend to drink this nasty water or he might sexually harass you." WTF?

A really great gag from Radar Secret Service is the skit after Last Clear Chance where Crow has a "pencil" mustache that is literally a pencil glued to his face.

"Can RADAR save our dying marriage?!"

I love that film, though I totally agree with Mike and Tom during the fist fight. Something along the lines of...

"I'm more bland!"
"No, I am!"
"I defy you to remember my character's name!"

Of course the really great thing about the Giant Gila Monster is just how often a scene would involve one or more characters walking to a spot and then propping their leg up on something.

Smart boy would do well to put his leg up on something like that.

I love Joel doing fun movie facts for the Gila Monster. "When they make noises like this, it's called 'Foley.' I'll be back later with another fun fact!"

Just to add to this: seeing Vader force choke the Karate Kid followed by Thor staking the Twilight vampire, wasn't all that funny the first time I saw it, and by the 900th time it's beyond annoying.

Add in the fact the song theorizes that it's a fun prank to play Rifftrax on unsuspecting people, as if the draw wasn't Mike, Kevin, and Bill, or Mary Jo and Bridget. It's like "Do you even know who your audience is?"

I feel like rifftrax has generally been getting less good the more they focus on using obscure movies they can do VODs of. Aside from truly exceptional episodes like Guy From Harlem, they rarely reach the heights they attain in such classics as the Twilight commentaries

Rewatched The Time Travelers and it's still not a bad movie. It's not a GREAT movie, but I'd probably watch it by itself. It's like The Time Machine with a bit of The Cold Equations mixed in. Plus, I do love all the practical effects. They at least tried harder than the folks making 12 to the Moon did.

What the gently caress even is a Sampo in the first place? Best I can tell is it's some sort of magical snack machine/horn of plenty that only this one bearded guy can build and he can only build it once.

If you know what a Sampo is, write it down on a piece of paper and throw it away. You'll be glad you did.

I Accuse My Parents is great because of how flawed the central premise is. Nothing that happens to Jimmy is the fault of his parents. He turns to a life of crime simply because he's trying to impress a girl who seems like she would be into him anyway without his big spending.

The end bit where Crow and Server want a hamburger sandwich and french fries potato garnish is a particular favorite of mine. "Joel, you magnificent bastard, I read your menu!"

I just finished it, and found it very enjoyable, maybe even more so than the first time.

Even Reptilicus, which — and this is my impression from reading this thread — was considered to be the least watchable due to the rapid fire jokes. In fact, I watched it with friends a couple times to introduce them to MST3K, and they loved it.

We watched Yongarry last night and it was good. Also: CAPSULE!

One of the things I love about Avalanche is the IMDB entry about how Corman wasn’t happy with the snow. So they added a bunch of styrofoam snow to enhance it, then skipped town.

After the spring thaw, it was covered in lovely fake snow.
